No — Salmon, Hoisin & Cucumber Mini Maki by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list consists only of basic foods and culinary ingredients (rice, vinegars, sugar, rapeseed oil, salt, fish, vegetables, seaweed, spices, molasses, etc.) and contains no industrial additives like emulsifiers, thickeners, artificial sweeteners, or refined industrial syrups. Therefore it is not classified as ultra-processed according to NOVA.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
